摘要: The dopamine (DAT) and serotonin (SERT) transporter genes both contain variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) in non-coding gene regions which have been correlated with a predisposition to variety CNS disorders. There is considerable homology between individual DAT SERT repeat DNA sequences, reflected their ability compete each other for specific protein binding as demonstrated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. VNTR has recently shown act transcriptional enhancer. Because the similarities VNTRs, may also enhance transcription. This study demonstrates lipid transfection into an immortalized dopaminergic cell line biolistic neurons neonatal rat midbrain slices that human nine-repeat can enhancing activity suggests play role regulation expression.
